When her estranged childhood sweetheart mysteriously dies, Amitra returns home after a sixteen-year absence to Black Bear Island, which legend says is haunted by a monstrous man-killing bear. As she searches for the truth and her memory starts to unfog, the forest begins to engulf the house and her past collides with the present. In this new gothic thriller, Karissa Murrell Myers explores regret, the unreliableness of our own memories and the paths we choose to become who we are.
